Impact of metastasectomy on survival in patients with oligometastatic stage 4a lung cancer: a retrospective analysis.

The aim of our study is to evaluate the impact of metastasectomy on survival in patients with oligometastatic stage 4 lung cancer. Fifty-nine oligometastatic lung cancer cases operated on in our clinic between January 2015 and January 2024 were retrospectively examined. Demographic characteristics, metastasis type, metastasis locations, treatments applied, location of the primary tumor, histological type of the tumor, and metastasectomy status of the patients included in the study were evaluated.

The Effect of Laboratory Parameters on the Hospital Stay and Mortality in Pediatric Patients Who Underwent Lobectomy and Pneumonectomy.

This study aims to evaluate the prognostic significance of various laboratory parameters in predicting the length of hospital stay and mortality among pediatric patients undergoing lobectomy and pneumonectomy for infectious or noninfectious diseases. This study was conducted by retrospective data analysis of 59 pediatric patients who underwent lobectomy and pneumonectomy due to variable diseases at the department of chest surgery. Pediatric patients diagnosed with variable diseases and who underwent lobectomy or pneumonectomy, patients who were hospitalized during the study period and underwent surgical intervention, and patients who had at least one laboratory parameter recorded before surgery were included in the study.

Comparison of surgical treatment and systemic chemotherapy in patients with non-epithelioid malignant pleural mesothelioma.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the most appropriate treatment options for patients with non-epithelioid malignant pleural mesothelioma.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients with non-epithelioid malignant pleural mesothelioma who received treatment at our center.

Results: Forty-two patients were included in this study.

Long-term outcomes of surgical management in post-intubation tracheal stenosis: a retrospective analysis of tracheal resection and reconstruction.

Post-intubation tracheal stenosis (PITS) is a serious complication of prolonged intubation, often requiring surgical intervention. This study aims to present the long-term outcomes of patients with PITS who underwent tracheal resection and reconstruction, as well as to discuss the efficacy of these surgical methods in comparison to stenting. This retrospective study included patients treated for PITS at our center between October 2005 and October 2022.

The effect of rutin on pulmonary contusion induced by blunt trauma in rats: Biochemical and histopathological evaluation.

Background: This study aims to investigate the possible protective effects of rutin, also called vitamin P1, against pulmonary contusion induced by blunt chest trauma in a rat model.

Methods: Thirty male albino Wistar rats were separated into three equal groups as healthy group, trauma group, and trauma+rutin group. After anesthesia provided by intraperitoneal administration of 60 mg/kg ketamine and xylazine by inhalation at appropriate intervals, 200 g weight was dropped from 1 m height to the anterior chest wall of the animals in the trauma group (n=10) and trauma+rutin group (n=10) and pulmonary contusion was created.

The effect of rutin on experimentally induced acute heart contusion in rats: Biochemical and histopathological evaluation.

Background: Acute cardiac contusion induced by trauma is known with its high mortality and morbidity. The role of oxidative stress and inflammation in its pathophysiology has led to the investigation of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory substances in non-sur-gical treatment. In this study, the effects of rutin which has these two features on acute cardiac contusion were investigated.
